Balance Slowly, purposefully and with caution I am reforming my daily routines and attaining balance. My days can feel as precarious as a cairn appears, but like a cairn, miraculously those days come together and I am able to achieve a little more. I am more flexible, even as I forge a routine that is,… Continue reading Week in Review 2026 – 03/20

I’m Late “I’m late. I’m late for a very important date,” said the White Rabbit. That is precisely how I feel this morning. What is important is making sure I hammer out my weekly blog and get it posted. Once done, I can attend to other items on my to do list. Despite how this… Continue reading Week in Review 2026 – 02/13

Now What? Now what? If you follow my blog, then you know we placed ourselves on two different waiting lists for independent living units at CCRCs (continuing care retirement communities). We did this in September and October of 2025. When we did so, we were told, since what we wanted was rare we likely wouldn’t… Continue reading Week in Review 2026 – 02/06

On Track Hurrah, I’m back on track. I feel Tony the Tiger great to head into my studio eager to tackle work. It’s doubly exciting to have the work fall naturally into place. Quilting is a slow, methodical, but perpetually fascinating way of being for me. Last week felt like I was trying to drive… Continue reading Week in Review 2026 – 01/09

Break I selected break as my lead heading because I found myself needing a break after an intense week in the studio trying to meet the Project Quilting deadline in time to write this post. I did. In fact I had an hour or two to spare. However, I was too drained to tackle anything… Continue reading Week in Review 2025 – 03/21

Commit My super power is my ability to commit. My kryptonite is over committing. Fortunately, I’ve learned to commit a bit less over the years. That being said between my art, family, self care and exercising my brain, I lead a full, enriching, but occasionally exhausting life. This week’s studio practice focused on not one,… Continue reading Week in Review 2025 – 03/07

Oh Joy! Oh Joy, oh rapture! Wherever am I going with a lead like that? Well, I struggle to focus on the positive in my off blog life. The reality is blog posts are curated. I may share a hurdle, but invariably temper that with the solution I came up with. This week, despite some… Continue reading Week in Review 2025 – 01/24

Critique versus Criticism There is a difference between critique versus criticism. Artists choose to belong to critique groups. I have yet to hear of a criticism group. Why critique? Simple, because the purpose of critique is to analyze a work versus making either pejorative or complimentary remarks. Sure it is rewarding to hear positive comments… Continue reading Week in Review 2023 – 03/24

Facing Fear I spent the week facing fear. It started when I went to the Project Quilting site to learn what the final 2023 prompt would be. You guessed it – fear. This is not something new to me. I face fear frequently. Not paralyzing fear, but definitely fear that I might prefer to avoid… Continue reading Week in Review 2023 – 03/17

Stop the World… Stop the world, I want to get off. Well not really, but sometimes my world seems to gather speed, spinning wildly and I can barely hang on. This happens whenever my life is off balance because it seems all aspects, family, health, commitments, art and more demand my immediate attention. True, I… Continue reading Week in Review 2023 – 03/03
